Allergic Contact Dermatitis, Allergic Airborne Dermatitis, and Occupational Asthma Caused by (meth)acrylates in Artificial Nails.

Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) caused by (meth)acrylates is traditionally an occupational disease among dentists, printers, and fiberglass workers. With the use of artificial nails, cases have been reported both in nail technicians and in users. ACD caused by (meth)acrylates used in artificial nails is a relevant problem for both nail artists and consumers.

Thiotrophic bacterial symbiont induces polyphenism in giant ciliate host Zoothamnium niveum.

Evolutionary theory predicts potential shifts between cooperative and uncooperative behaviour under fluctuating environmental conditions. This leads to unstable benefits to the partners and restricts the evolution of dependence. High dependence is usually found in those hosts in which vertically transmitted symbionts provide nutrients reliably.

Can We Fix The Web?

This paper reports on an innovative approach to facilitating the expedient reporting of web accessibility issues using volunteers. The aim of the Fix the Web website and project is not to replace existing formal methods of reporting inaccessible websites, but to provide an easy, informal way by which users with disabilities can report inaccessible websites quickly and can be assured that a volunteer on their behalf will take the issue up with the website owner or administrator. Fix the Web was launched in 2010 and from a small start has gone onto success in dealing with nearly 150 inaccessible websites.

What respondents really expect from researchers.

This article addresses the issue of falling response rates in telephone surveys. To better understand and maintain respondent goodwill, concepts of psychological contract and respondent expectations are introduced and explored. Results of the qualitative study show that respondent expectations are not only socially contingent but also ego-expressive, utilitarian, pleasurable, and epistemic by nature.
